Mission Statement

Our goal is to support underfunded high-quality community impact initiatives in education, culture, health, family, and economic mobility. We work with unsung heroes and influencers who are intentional about transforming systemic conditions to create generational change for the new economy. While you can donate your crypto to provide general support our effort, you can also choose to select one of the following social impact initiatives from our portfolio:

New Freedom Theatre: Cultural arts is crucial to preserving the voice and legacy of communities, and this effort aims to restore a historic African-American performing arts theatre in Philadelphia. Plays stream online and are performed in-person. Performances are written and produced by Karl “Dice Raw” Jenkins of the “Legendary ROOTS crew” who also serves as Chairman of the theatre. The current production, “Forgotten Founding Fathers,” highlights the incredible contributions of black historic heroes in the founding of America. (https://freedomtheatre.org/)

Paragon Academy: An effort to turn the successful Paragon Project, a music and education after school program into a pioneering fine arts and entrepreneurship private high school primarily serving families of color. Paragon serves students who come from extreme family dynamics (mental trauma, addiction, homelessness) who make positive social change music. The students have made 4 albums and 80% have been accepted into college. The program was founded by Dr. Michael Anthony Anderson based upon his doctoral work at the University of Delaware and other sustainable enrichment models he developed in Florida, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Sheffield, England (https://www.theparagonproject.org/).

Founded by Jerel Wilson, a Baltimore native and local citizen-hero who has dedicated 15+ years of his life building trust in the heart of some of the most challenging communities in Baltimore, MD (https://www.formykidzbaltimore.org/).
